“TAKE FLIGHT! – A CELEBRATION OF COLORADO WILDLIFE”

Oct.

3–Nov. 30 at Meadows

All the paintings in “Take Flight” are inspired by walks along local trails and in Colorado’s open spaces. Artist Rose Winterton wanted to recreate the everyday wonders that are within reach of all of us, whether that be the beauty of a tiny butterfly or the majestic sight of a Great Horned Owl.

“QUIET COUNTRY”

Oct. 10–Dec. 1 at Main on the Arapahoe Ramp

“Quiet Country” explores our relationship to nature as a complicated response to the overstimulated cities and suburbs that we navigate. Folded paper quilts both magnify and obscure certain elements of recognizable icons, blurring distinctions between the organic and the manmade. Artist Josh Hughes activates the landscape as an escapist’s vision of America, interrogating our intentions of wanderlust and its inherent mystery.

“WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A TAIL LIKE THIS?” CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND ART OF STEVE JENKINS”

Oct. 13–Dec. 3 at Main in the Canyon Gallery | Opening reception Oct. 20, 5–7 p.m.

A vibrant retrospective of the wondrous work of Boulder Caldecott Honor recipient Steve Jenkins (1952–2021), featuring illustrations from his many children’s books (some in collaboration with this wife, Robin Page), that describe the marvels and magic of animals and the natural world.
